Burnout 3: Takedown

 

Street Racing, is a major subject in VG's, Burnout 3 is one of those games.

 

GAMEPLAY

Burnout's gameplay involves, going around the track, and being the first to cross the finish line.  But Burnout rewards you for being stupid, by giving you "Boost" for your stupidity, and the game state's Risk=Reward.  By supid, I mean, wreckng (TAKINGDOWN) your rivals, and barley missing traffic.  The damage is over the top in Burnout, instead of no damage, you get over the top, fun, cartoonish explosion's, and of course, cars flying way up above your head.  The best way to see the damage is, Road Rage mode, in which you try to takedown as many of your rivals possible, until your car explodes.  There is also a Crash mode, where you drive into a intersection, and try to cause as much damage as possibe.

 

GRAPHICS

The Graphics are extremly well for the PS2 and Xbox, and unlike other games, the Frames don't slow down with a ton of movement.  Very excellent for it's time.

 

AGE

Burnout 3 has street racing, and one curse word, that on the screen every now and then.  Age 10 and up.

 

CONCLUSION

Burnout 3 is a very fun, fast paced racing game.  It's more of arcade style, when compared to NFS: Most Wanted.  This is fun, destructive, title, that would be great in your collection.  8.2 out of 10.
